our sunday morning edition of the papers. our reviewers this morning are political commentator vincent moss and ian birrell from the mail on sunday. before the papers, sport, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre here's holly hamilton. it's looking 0k it's looking ok for once, we are talking about the cricket. england have a chance for some some revenge over australia. jason roy has just reached the century. as they look to chase down a target of 305 to win the first of five one—day internationals. just four of the test team, who were humiliated in the ashes defeat, are playing in melbourne this morning. england put the aussies into bat. aaron finch made 107, and there were half centuries from mitchell marsh and marcus stoinis, which helped them to 304—8 off their 50 overs. england are currently 172—2 in the
9:32 am
28th over. just two games in the premier league today. a big test for manchester city as they make the short trip down the road to face liverpool. the city have won only once at anfield in the last 20 years. before that bournemouth face arsenal at home. yesterday it was harry kane once again grabbing the headlines, continuing what has been a remarkable season. spurs are making the most of wembley way. they know it's only a temporary stay. but for harry kane, this place feels like home. it's where he keeps adding to his record collection. another double for kane. spurs‘ record scorer in the premier league already. a scruffy way to his 98th league goal. but his team also crafted something special. everton‘s wembley woe complete with christian ericsson's brilliant fourth. they will not be here for long, but they are mastering this stage. chelsea and leicester
9:33 am
share a recent history. premier league champions in the last two seasons. the foxes‘ aspirations have lessened since then, but they had a chance to win at the bridge. a 0—0 draw could leave chelsea in fourth today. this season's top spot already looks out of reach, but cross to the bottom half and it is much more congested. any team from ten could go down, so one wrong move can make all the difference. west ham got lucky to go in front at huddersfield. but after good fortune came star quality. here's arnautovic. at the start of the second half he has scored for west ham! it has been a while since things have come together for david moyes. now he is leading a resurgence. we've got a long way to go. the players have done brilliantly well since we've come in. they have done so well. much praise goes to them. i thought they were terrific today.
9:34 am
they did so well. a bounce off the bottom's exactly what west brom need. they took their first step to safety, beating brighton 2—0. this has been a barren season for the baggies. but a first league win since august has them on the right track. they'll hope to climb the table as others tumble down it. watford and southampton are looking over their shoulders. that looked like the body part doucoure used for this equaliser. but on closer inspection, perhaps not. he stoops to head it and it hits his fist, i think. southampton are left in deep trouble. the goal stood and it finished 2—2. more matches like this will decide who stays up, but those pivotal moments can make all the difference. joe lynskey, bbc news. there was also a win for crystal palace against burnley yesterday, whilst bottom side swansea drew 1—1 at newcastle. let's turn attentions to rugby union now, and english champions exeter chiefs have boosted their chance of qualifying for the quarterfinals of the european champions cup with a dominant display against montpellier. there were also wins for ulster, harlequins and northampton,
9:35 am
while european champions saracens drew 15—15 with 0spreys. adam wild reports. sandy park is where you find the chiefs. and this, certainly an occassion for leaders. top of the english league, exeter, against montpellier, top of the french. a cross—channel challenge with plenty at stake. for exeter, defeat would end their dream. dave ewer‘s first—half try, keeping it alive. tense, tight, not much space. but with 0llie woodburn on the wing, you don't always need it. this secured the bonus point that may yet prove crucial in the fight for second in the group. the chiefs, back in charge. with ulster, a battle to lead 4—1. that's where they have been for most of the competition. the french side seemingly unbeatable, now breachable. tries either side of half—time. they go top with just one game to go.
9:36 am
that is against wasps, who had harboured hopes of their own charging into a 20—point lead against already eliminated harlequins. waspes have moved, but plenty of rivalry remains. that margin, gradually reduced, as well as the numbers on the field. a red card for wasps, james haskell. with the final breath of the game, harlequins let out a roar. a huge blow to their former neighbours. it was an extraordinary win leaving the wasps needing something extraordinary if they are to progress. europe have beaten asia to retain the eurasia cup. they had been down by a point going into today's singles but won eight out of 12 matches in kuala lumpur. england's tommy fleetwood was one of the first to get on the scoreboard for the europeans. it finished 14—10 to europe. laura muir anchored great britain to victory in the great edinburgh cross country mixed team relay yesterday. the former european cross—country
9:37 am
champion was in fine form yesterday. she took over from adam clarke for the final lap behind europe and belgium, but made up the ground to win by seven seconds. she won't be appearing on the track for this year's commonwealth games because she's finishing her veterinary exams. the vet school has been so supportive. my coach andy as well has been here every step of the way. we planned it years in advance. we knew i wasn't going to do the commonwealth quite a while ago. with everything planned for years, it is a matter of getting it all done and hopefully getting a medal. that would be great. hopefully i am in the europeans as well. lisa ashton has won her fourth bdo world title after beating anastasia dob—rom—islova 3—1 at lakeside. ashton was considered the underdog before the final but the defending champion won eight legs in a row, finishing with a 62 checkout to seal victory. ashton is now second on the list of titles won, behind the io—time champion trina gulliver. 0n the men's side of things, the final will be played
9:38 am
between defending champion glen durrant and mark mcgeeney. mcgeeney came through his semifinal against germany's michael unterbukner, six sets to four. the englishman, who is the bdo world number one, came back from 3—2 down, to set up a chance to win his first world title. that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, the papers. hello and welcome to our look at this morning's papers. with me are political commentator vincent moss and contributoring editor for the daily mail ian birrell. let's take a look at the front pages then. the sunday times reports that the newjustice secretary is preparing to intervene to halt the release of the so—called "black cab rapist", john worboys.
9:39 am
the mirror also leads on the future ofjohn worboys — reporting on concerns about whether he could return to the same flat he owned before going to jail. the mail looks at the row surrounding the girlfriend of ukip‘s party leader henry bolton — after she reportedly made racist remarks about meghan markle. the sunday telegraph has an interview with the new conservative party chairman brandon lewis , he tells the paper he wants to galvanise the party's digital campaigning. the observer reports claims by nigel farage that pro—europeans could overturn the result of the brexit referendum, and that the leave side has "stopped fighting". the sunday express claims economists are warning the eu that failing to reach a brexit deal with britain could cost it £500 billion. and the sun claims tv host ant mcpartlin has filed for divorce from his wife of 11 years. let's begin with the observer, how
9:40 am
oui’ let's begin with the observer, how our historic brexit vote could be reversed phase nigel farage. it doesn't seem very likely but he is saying that pro—eu people, remainers are campaigning harder now than leavers. he's right about that. you could argue that the leavers won the argument so they are sitting back and nigel farage eyes on the is saying unless something changes you could have a second referendum on the leave campaign could lose. it looks increasingly unlikely that there will be a second referendum but i think the argument is not necessarily one and that's the point nigel farage is making. he says there is a majority in parliament who are remainers and that's a problem. is this a rallying call to the leave campaign in a way?|j problem. is this a rallying call to the leave campaign in a way? i think it's partly about the fact nigel is
9:41 am
feeling unloved and missing the spotlight. he said something on a tv show which sparked a few headlines and he's pushing it hard. it's also about saying i'm the best campaign oi'i about saying i'm the best campaign on this issue and it's all being lost and people aren't campaigning ha rd lost and people aren't campaigning hard enough. having a go at his rivals on it. also i think it's about the fact there is still this problem in defining the brexit the leave camp want. there is a variety of different brexits being presented andl of different brexits being presented and i think he's pushing for a hard edge brexit and keep pressure up and trying to revolt leaver revive a role for himself as a person who believes in a hard brexit. but reality seems to be intruding and people are finding it harder to define what is the sort of brexit we wa nt define what is the sort of brexit we want to find something that works for everyone involved. as we go into the trade negotiations it seems it's all to play for still in terms of what sort of brexit it ends up being. that's right. i think the
9:42 am
fear from being. that's right. i think the fearfrom nigel farage and being. that's right. i think the fear from nigel farage and the leave campaign is the idea that there might bea campaign is the idea that there might be a form that still sees britain in the customs union and single market. he is part of this push back and there is a lack of definition from some of the leave aside about what they are seeking. that's part of the problem. i'm not too sure how interested many of the readers will be in the process of this story but in terms of the details it's not going to go away and will continue to run and run as and will continue to run and run as a story on the front page of the 0bserver but i'm not sure it's worthy of a front—page, in terms of every little bit of it. the front page of your paper the mail on sunday and a story about the current ukip leader henry bolton, or really his girlfriend talking about the fiancee of prince harry meghan markle and a series of text messages. it follows on from the farage story. here is his former
9:43 am
party, they seem to have a new leader every week and the leader is seen to run into also some personal issues. here we have a leader who's had a danish wife and then a russian wife and now he's moved in with this other person. obviously that's up to him but she doesn't appear to be the most appealing character and she shows up what a lot of people think ukip is really all about under the surface with a lot of people. i think for them you've got this fringe group which has diminished interest in the public debate. it woi'i interest in the public debate. it won its big argument and has become a fringe group and its going through this ludicrous process. these are text messages from jo marney. we won't go into the details of what they say but obviously we are used to reporting about people's twitter messages, their posts on facebook. but these are text messages. yes, that's what i find interesting. the content is horrendous and unpleasant
9:44 am
and racist and jo marney has been suspended and has apologised. what's interesting is the context. this isn't something that we've seen posted on a public website. it looks as though these are text messages sent to someone else who has then passed them on to the newspaper, to the mail on sunday. that is an interesting point about when is it a cce pta ble interesting point about when is it acceptable to print people's text m essa 9 es acceptable to print people's text messages because many people put things in text messages but they wouldn't want to see in a newspaper. in this case i suspect when a mail on sunday would argue there is a big public interest because he is the leader of a political party but it's an interesting area because it is different from something you put on a public facing forum. the bbc haven't seen these messages independently and also jo haven't seen these messages independently and alsojo marney has said "i apologise unreservedly for the shocking language i used. the
9:45 am
opinions i expressed were deliberately exaggerated to make a point and have it to an extent been taken out of context but i fully recognise the offence they have caused". she is apologising. she is but there's no doubt whether they are exaggerated or not, they are vile and deeply racist and give an insight into the person who is currently the partner of a leader of a political party. should he resign? i'm not sure many people care about ukip and to their current leader is but i think he looks a diminished figure from a very small standard already. i think there is a genuine public interest. if it was theresa may's partner orjeremy corbyn's partner expressing those views it would be a legitimate area of press concerned. let's talk about how to fight the next election. the tories, it's well known that labour, 0k they didn't win the last election but arguably they won the election
9:46 am
online, in terms of getting younger people out of eight they were very successful and the tories want to try and match them. labour did do well in the digital area and the conservatives recognise they've got some catching up to do. there have been some funny examples recently how badly the conservatives have done their social media so they are trying to improve on it. the sunday telegraph has eight interview with brandon lewis and he says he wants to get shy tories out there in the digital world and wants to give them a toolkit of gifs and videos and graphics and all the rest of it. this recognition of a way of engaging with younger voters and moving away from things like newspapers, sadly and more into social media. it's an interesting story about what the plans are for the new conservative chairman and
9:47 am
how he wants to reinvigorate their base among young voters. no one knows this better than brandon lewis because the tory party managed to announce someone else had hisjob during the reshuffle. their communications operation put the wrong name in the frame. there is a more fundamental problem, for the tories young devotees didn't vote for them tories young devotees didn't vote forthem —— tories young devotees didn't vote for them —— younger voters didn't vote for them. there is a more fundamental problem which is the current conservative message which is tough on immigration, tough on borders and above all brexit doesn't appeal to people in their 205, 305 and 405. all the polling data shows that. you can build houses, change but ultimately it'5 that. you can build houses, change but ultimately it's not the method but ultimately it's not the method but the core me55age. but ultimately it's not the method but the core message. for the conservative party at the moment back core me55age conservative party at the moment back core message is deeply unappealing to young people and that'5 unappealing to young people and that's the problem they've got. given that they are stuck on this track of going for brexit and pu5hing track of going for brexit and pushing it through and being identified with it, and it's really
9:48 am
something we are having because of the rupture5 and divisions in the conservative party, thi5 the rupture5 and divisions in the conservative party, this is the problem they've got. it is something inherently unpopular with younger people. let's stay with the sunday telegraph. they've also got a story about carillion which does construction as well as other things and they are in serious trouble. they are clearly part of the government's plans for hs2 and so on. this will be the big story of the week, they have huge debts of abouti.6 the week, they have huge debts of about 1.6 billion, a pension fund black hole of 600 million and a company that looks as though it is on the brink of collapse. so far the government has been fairly quiet and i think it needs to probably come to the house of commons tomorrow and explain what it's going to do. if this company collapses it would be bad news not just this company collapses it would be bad news notjust for the people who work there, it would be terrible for public services and then there's the banks and the shareholders. people may not feel that much pity for
9:49 am
banks and shareholders but it's a problem the government hasn't really said what it's going to do about it and it needs to get a grip on the situation and explain its plans. let's go to the sunday times. john warboys the black cab rapist and the justice secretary preparing to intervene, says the sunday times, to try and stop his release which was sanctioned by the parole board. this is hugely controversial and it looks like david gauke has been under pressure from other cabinet ministers to make the parole board have another look at this. he's in a difficult position because clearly there are valid que5tion5 difficult position because clearly there are valid questions over the prosecution and whether this guy, who was convicted of one rape and a variety of sexual assaults, but there'5 variety of sexual assaults, but there's lots of women who say there are cases that went taken up and prosecuted. due proce55
9:50 am
are cases that went taken up and prosecuted. due process has been followed and there is questions over in forming the victims but the judicial system is operating correctly. the newjustice secretary ha5 correctly. the newjustice secretary has a difficult conundrum which is many people feel this guy shouldn't be released, he remains a danger and he'5 terrifying for a lot of those people who he abu5ed he'5 terrifying for a lot of those people who he abused and attacked. there is a political pressure to do something about it. what do you think will be the outcome? it's hard to go down the route of a judicial review because the release is not theissue, review because the release is not the issue, potentially. the parole board may well have followed everything correctly. the issue is the sentence and whether enough of the sentence and whether enough of the prosecutions were followed through with. there's potentially 100 victims. 12 victims were part of the case in the trial so there are others. allegedly there are up to 93 others. allegedly there are up to 93 other cases out there so it's a big problem. i can understand the fears of the victims because it is highly
9:51 am
likely i would imagine that he will be given a new identity and all the rest of it. it's possible he could be linked near his victims and they wouldn't necessarily know. a suggestion the parole board should do more or be entitled to do more to explain their decisions. i think at the moment they can't really go into the moment they can't really go into the details of how they reach a decision. in future that would be a better way forward. it would help people have more confidence in the 5y5tem. people have more confidence in the system. if there's a lesson from thi5, system. if there's a lesson from this, should be looking at our rape ca5e5 this, should be looking at our rape cases and these serious 5exual a55ault ca5e5, cases and these serious 5exual a55ault cases, are they still taken 5eriou5ly enough and are they being prosecuted in. that is the fundamental i55ue prosecuted in. that is the fundamental issue i think. the observer's front—page story is about donald trump not coming to britain for a visit and it says his deteriorating relationship with britain is likely to kill off any lingering cabinet hopes of a swift
9:52 am
post—brexit deal with the us. is there a deteriorating relationship? there's got to be. just the recent story we saw about him pulling out of the opening of the new american embassy and the general anti—trump rhetoric over here can hardly endear us to the americans. surely we aren't the only country with anti—trump rhetoric. aren't the only country with anti-trump rhetoric. know but it's a lwa ys anti-trump rhetoric. know but it's always about the special relationship and they would be a greater focus on us. we look as though we really don't like trump and whatever the views are of him a lot of people voted for him and he is the president. these comments are from a former british ambassador in washington pointing this out. there isa washington pointing this out. there is a poll highlighting 70% of brits think trump is an trustworthy and not a good bet. it's really highlighting the obvious because america is critical to our post—brexit trade plants. if we can't get a deal with america than
9:53 am
britain will really be struggling and that would be bad news is the theresa may and liam fox. does the trade deal really depend on what donald trump thinks of us? he has an influence on it because he is the leader of the government and if he want5 leader of the government and if he wants to stay me it he could. a5 we know he's not a conventional politician so he could easily 5tymie it. canada took 5even politician so he could easily 5tymie it. canada took seven years famously to get a trade deal with the european union. this is a deal of incredible complexity. the idea you could do it in a few months as a pipe dream. it'5 could do it in a few months as a pipe dream. it's always going to be a long, complicated, difficult process. in that respect i think the row over whether trump i5 process. in that respect i think the row over whether trump is upset by not being able to meet the queen or come to a royal wedding or open his emba55y i5 come to a royal wedding or open his emba55y is a red herring. come to a royal wedding or open his embassy is a red herring. the last story in the sunday times, it's dried january all year. they are saying traditionaljanuary detox
9:54 am
could last all year because of new government health guidelines. the headline makes it sound like it's about alcohol but it's more about food. public health england talking about calorific intake and saying that we should all be calorie capping lunch and dinner at 600 calories and breakfast at 400, and saying the guidelines for women would be about 2000 a day and men 2500, pointing out a kentucky mighty bucket for one is 1200 calories. it's less about alcohol and more about eating less. you've got to 5hare about eating less. you've got to share your bucket for one because it i51200 calorie5 share your bucket for one because it i51200 calories than say 600 —— and they say that 600 is the maximum. are you guys doing dried january? occasionally, with the odd day off.
9:55 am
i started. i feel rather better for it. i don't know whether it will last all year. you are a model for a healthy living! that's it for the papers. thanks to vincent and ian. just a reminder we take a look at tomorrow's front pages every evening at 10.40pm here on bbc news. hello there. we've been stuck under a lot of cloud and grey skies for a few days now. today a bit more of the same. another fairly cloudy day, but the cloud certainly will allow a little bit of sunshine, so breaking up, some brighter spells today. an improving picture before rain and some strong winds sweep in from the north west later on. but before this front gets to us, not a bad day. a lot of dry weather with lighter winds than we've seen recently. a bit more sunshine across parts
9:56 am
of northern england, wales, down towards the west country. perhaps slightly cloudy skies across eastern parts of england. scotland and northern ireland also staying quite cloudy ahead of this front moving in. some really strong winds and some heavy rain arriving here late in the afternoon. temperatures around 4—9 degrees, not feeling too bad out there with those light winds. but then into this evening, those gusts of wind, 70 mph for the northern isles, western isles too. 60 mph gusts of wind possible, as this band of heavy rain and gusty wind sweeps its way south—eastwards across all of the country through the course of tonight. so on into the early hours of monday, there could be a lot of lying surface water on the roads, combined with the strong winds as well. then a return to much colder conditions heading in from the north—west. that's the setup over the next few days. we are going to see that cold air sweeping in from the north west and really taking hold of our weather. to start monday, heavy rain, strong, gusty winds, only slowly clearing away from eastern england. then it's a return to something brighter, sunnier than we've seen
9:57 am
recently but also plenty of showers, wintry showers across parts of scotland and northern ireland. further south mostly rain showers, but there will be a bit of sleet and snow over the higher ground. tuesday also brings further wintry showers, sleet and snow across parts of scotland, northern ireland and northern england. showers further south, but those temperatures colder than we've seen recently. then we've still got the cold air into the middle of the week but what we are also seeing is an area of low pressure. that's set to move its way from west to east across the country, bringing potentially some heavy snow on its northern edge, heavy rain further south and really strong winds too. potential for disruption through the middle part of the week. we've got that cold air bringing the risk of some heavy rain, snow and also some strong winds too. keep tuned for your latest forecast. goodbye for now. this is bbc news.
9:58 am
the headlines at 10am: the government confirms it's considering a judicial review of the decision to release serial sex attackerjohn worboys on parole. the us government launches an investigation after a false warning of an incoming missile attack causes widespread panic in hawaii. ukip suspends the girlfriend of its party leader, henry bolton — after she reportedly made racist remarks about prince harry's fiance, meghan markle. mark wahlberg says he will donate £1 million to a fund for victims of sexual abuse, after controversy over his fee for reshooting the film: all the money in the world.
